Business Turnaround

When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Go for Coffee

A Robust Blend of Business Turn-Around Tactics and Common Sense

Go beyond theory with Richard J. Bryan and re-live the business turn-around tactics he learned over coffee (lots of coffee) with his brilliant, common-sense, business mentor Frank. Richard became the reluctant CEO of his family’s high-profile business at the age of 28, after his father became ill. He was facing $5 million of company debt, tough competition, unhappy manufacturer partners and, to top it off, the business was losing $3.5 million a year! He looked around and decided he needed help. Enter Frank.

Fill your cup, pull up a chair and learn the top 10 road-tested, turn-around tactics that saved the business. With the help of the right mentor, Richard took his family business from near-bankruptcy to profitable sale over the course of 10 years. He has gathered his key learnings (the good, the bad and the ugly) in his no-nonsense, leadership book Being Frank. He will share select excerpts from his book with you, in this value-packed, reality-tested, freshly-brewed program.
